United States, Georgia, Marion County, Buena Vista, 32.31904, -84.51714Seibert, David, 1941-20201850Architecture Style: Vernacular with Neoclassical Revival alterationsCourthouse Details: It is not known what initially served as Marion County courthouse. An act of Dec. 17, 1828 appointed nine local citizens to serve as commissioners to select a county seat (Ga. Laws 1828, p. 155). Once that site was designated, the county's inferior court was directed to erect a courthouse and jail. Until such time, Marion County court sessions elections were to be held "at the usual place of holding courts and elections." It is believed that in 1829, a courthouse was built in the settlement of Horry (later renamed Marionville). After Tazewell was designated county seat in 1838, a new courthouse was built the following year. This wooden structure burned in 1845, and a new courthouse was built in 1848. In 1849 or 1850, Buena Vista was designated the new county seat, and a new two-story brick courthouse was completed in 1850. In 1928, a Neoclassical entrance with columns was added to the courthouse.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Courthouses--Georgia--Marion CountyCourthouses--Georgia--Buena VistaMarion County CourthouseStillImage
